NFL Draft 2014: Johnny Manziel to Eagles rumors heat up again

Where there is smoke, there is fire -- but there can't really be fire in this case, right?

With the 2014 NFL Draft just days away, rumors are heating up again that Texas A&M quarterback Jonny Manziel could be making his way to the Eagles on draft night.

Speaking on NFL Insiders, ESPN's Field Yates revealed that he is hearing "buzz" that the Eagles' interest in Manziel is real. This report comes after Peter King of Sports Illustrated reported that he was hearing the Eagles are looking into trading up for Manziel.

Now, any information making its way to the public leading up to the draft has to be taken with a grain of salt. Still, the Manziel-to-Eagles rumors have now circulated a few times from different news sources, meaning there might just be something there.

No matter where they draft him, however, you have to wonder if the Eagles using No. 22 or multiple picks in a trade to land Manziel is the best use of their resources. Especially when they have a young quarterback of their own in Nick Foles coming off a season where he threw 27 touchdowns to just two interceptions.

Although Foles had success last season, the only thing that matters is what head coach Chip Kelly wants. No one knows what Kelly really thinks, but if he isn't convinced that Foles is his guy, then the Eagles will move on no matter how impressive the quarterback is. Just ask DeSean Jackson if production on the field equals job security.

Kelly has been on the record saying he "loves" Manziel. It could just be a nice compliment, but Kelly did recruit the quarterback out of college -- so the interest is there.
